IIES as a WHO Collaborating Center for Occupational Health

IIES has been honorably designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre (WHO-CC) for Occupational Health since March 14, 1988. The 4^th Director-General of WHO, the late Mr. Hiroshi Nakajima personally visited UOEH at the time for the designation ceremony on July 7, 1988. We have a plate to commemorate designation.

We need to meet the strict requirements every 4 years to be re-designated as a WHO-CC. The designation requirements as well as the contents of the Terms of Reference (TOR) have become more rigid in recent years. WHO has been updated with our activities by our annual activity report every summer. Our latest TOR was issued on July 23, 2016 on the occasion of re-designation, and our latest activity report was submitted to WHO on August 14, 2017.
